Welcome back to Iron Sights After Dark! In this episode, JP and I sat down with Frank Visco from theshotlesstaken.com to discuss the 2A Community, Photography & Art. Visco’s aesthetic and take on firearms products has become universally accepted and shared among leading brands and leaders in the industry. Although Frank’s work has catapulted into the public eye, his story and personal brand is a mystery to most of his supporters. In this conversation you will hear about Frank’s inspiration, battling cancer and how he started @theshotlesstaken brand through Instagram. We start the episode reflecting on our recent day on the range and what it’s like shooting in the open desert. I make my case for staying put in California despite the political madness and high volume of people leaving the state and transitioning into Frank’s story. Let us know what you think…we’ll be back Monday with another episode of Iron Sights!
